Light is top notch, its spent lots of time underwater this season and no problems yet. I just wish the red was a little brighter

EXCELLENT POSTS, Gents!!!
am hoping to get there one day~~~
access reasons alone; i'd much rather feesh 360 than 180.
the safety factor is HUGE as well. it seems i'm finding the surf, in waders, off of NPT more often than i'd like to~ which is never. thanks to everyone for your knowledgeable contributions. here's a question:
did any of you wetsuiters begin wading flats first(less gear, perhaps?), then work your ways up to rock jockeying?? |

Boat with oil skins>shorts and bare feet>shorts and knee boots>waders>waders with korkers>waders and dry top>wetsuit>????
I have to say the single worst piece of equipment you could possibly own would be strap on style korkers...go with studded felts or some type of boot. Korkers are heavy, clumsy, and completely unnecessary given the other choices available out there...hang them on the wall with your monofilament, fiberglass rods, van staals, and neoprene waders. |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

I bought my wetsuit because of one place I fish. The current is wicked fast. I was out one day in my waders and drytop and needed to get to this specific rock. I could not get to it due to the drag created by the waders in the current. I settled for a closer rock when I slipped off and landed on my butt in a foot and a half of water. The current was actually strong enough to start pushing me along. I jammed my rod between my legs and it stood me up. Right after this two guys in wetsuits walked past me to MY rock and started hitting fish that I couldn't get to in the rip.
After I bought it I realized the opportunities that awaited me elsewhere. The convenience and the safety factor alone is a good reason to get one, even if you are rockhopping in a relatively safe place. |

..if you continue to promote this insane style of fishing, you'll only be encouraging more people to have the opportunity of getting out to YOUR rock. 
...just busting ballz, ...Wetsuiting opens the door to many other places you'd never be able to get to in waders/etc. Sometimes you need that extra umphf...to be able to reach that hole where the fish are waiting. |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

You're right.
Wetsuiting is dangerous and you all look ridiculous when wearing one. Avoid at all costs!!!! |

yeah, what he said......bury this thread.......besides, there ain't no fish left there.....
a good idea might be to change the title of this thread to "wetsuiting" due to the spelling, so for the future if someone does a search, they can find it to help answer any questions they might have

That would be a good idea, do we need a wetsuit forum? |
